Hotel Booking Engine Quikbook.com Presents 7th Annual Customers’ Choice Awards

Quikbook.com, the well-established hotel booking service, releases booking preferences on hotels where their travelers stayed most during the calendar year 2010. As the year came to an end, Quikbook.com reviewed the total reservations numbers in the past year and will disclose the top three most popular hotels for each of the six major destination cities.

The official 7th Annual Customers’ Choice Awards, including guest comments and special offers, is scheduled to be published through Quikbook.com’s Weekly Deal Alert on Tuesday, January 25th. Guests can receive the Awards email by signing up prior to the 25th.

Quikbook.com selected their six most booked cities, including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC, San Francisco, and Miami. Along with the top three most booked hotels, Quikbook.com shared guest comments that reinforce the reasoning behind guests’ hotel preference.

For the NYC market, Affinia Shelburne returns as a long-time favorite with travelers. Smyth and The Time Hotels are new but not surprising entrants to the Choice Awards as they have been continually offering enticing deals for the New York travelers in 2010. Many guests comment that their hotel choices are usually influenced by current promotions, hotel amenities, and hotel location.

While Clift Hotel remains the first choice for San Francisco travelers just as in the previous year, all of the other favorite hotels in the “sunny” cities LA, San Francisco, and Miami, have been replaced by hotels that continuously provide great service to their guests and offer competitive prices. This set of hotels stands out for Quikbook.com customers for their luxury hotel features and attention to detail.

Chicago’s favorites include Dana Hotel – a boutique style hotel on Michigan Ave, the sleek and modern Affinia Chicago, and a recently restored Whitehall Hotel.

Washington D.C. travellers chose Donovan House and Liaison Capitol Hill, just as in the previous year. The Churchill Hotel is a new favorite for D.C. goers – mainly for its prime location in the heart of Washington D.C. and recent renovation.
